Help Needed: Identifying a card
Hi,
I just got a 9600 series card. My uncle gave it to me as a gift. The problem now is, I don't know whether its a PRO card or a non Pro. It is a GigaCube card. Red in color. The memory chips are by Samsung and are rectangular in color. I think they are 4.0 ns cos it says TC40 on the chips. 128MB DDR Ram. Powerstrip shows the internal core clock as 400 Mhz and the Memory clock is 250Mhz. This is surprising, as I have never seen a 9600 with a 400/500 combination. On the card, it says GC-R9600/Pro. In the bill, it says GC-R9600-C3. I get around 7555 3D Marks in 3DMark2001SE. System: P-4 1.6 Ghz 512 MB SD Ram (133 Mhz) etc I figure its the CPU and the RAM which are holding the card back. Anyway, any guesses? In the system info it says 9600 Series card...no Pro or non-Pro. Guess all I want to know is if I am right about everything and also, whether this card is a PRO card or not. Thanks for your time. Btw, I am using Cat 3.9 with no problems. *** ....the Phoenix shall rise... |

They are not terribly helpful, as they only list the features of ALL 9600 cards on the site. No specific features were listed, like Memory clock and core clock etc. :-( If anyone has any idea about it, I'd be grateful. Otherwise, I think I should just be happy with it. It's performing pretty decently with all the eye candy up in games. *** ....the Phoenix shall rise... |

OK if it has 500MHz memory it must be semi-pro ! I think that gecube are marketing this (misleadingly perhaps) as a pro. Non-pros are usually 325/400 this is 400/500 whilst full pros are 400/600 Tony |

Enterprise version is best. It will tell you EVERYTHING about your card... even if its been circumzied! -- Remember when real men used Real computers!? When 512K of video RAM was a lot!

I think its ****ty marketing on the part of Gigacube cos on my card, it even says Pro! Hehe...even they probably didn't know what to call it, so it just says Radeon 9600 Series in the display properties and in 3DMark. No Pro or non-Pro. Thanks guys! I checked the site of the place he bought it from, and they list it as a 400/500 card. *** ....the Phoenix shall rise... |

I only was told about it a month ago... Notice how it tells YOU EVERYTHING about your computer, links to get drivers for your hardware, you can even remove software with it, shows your Windows UPdates etc. The Temp of your system, the Mhz the products are reporting etc. its a life saver when someone says "I don't know what I have". -- Remember when real men used Real computers!?
